Marina di Camerota is a little town, the largest hamlet (frazione) of Camerota more than its seat, in Campania region.
The town was a place of emigration to South America, especially to Venezuela, in the 19th century. The relationship with the American country is still strong, evidenced, for example, by a statue of Simón Bolívar built in the middle of the village, in front of the harbour side.
Marina di Camerota lies on the southern side of Cilento, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, and it is the port of its "commune". The town is 5 km from Camerota, 8 from Palinuro, 25 from Policastro, and 90 from Salerno. The town, located on 40°N parallel, is the southernmost inhabited area of Campania.
The town of Marina is a part of "Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park", whose natural environment is composed of "Maquis", typical of Mediterranean countries. It is a main tourism location, especially in the summer, due to the quality of its water, which has earned it the Blue Flag beach award every year since 2003.
Marina di Camerota is also interesting for its paleontologic caves , with human fossils discovered in '80s. One of these caves, located in Lentiscella zone, is a museum which accommodates the "Lion of Caprera" (Leone di Caprera), a little schooner which in 1880-1881 crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Montevideo to Livorno. Another point of interest is represented by three "telegraph towers", built by Bourbons and included in a system of defence and communication points, along the southern side of the Tyrrhenian coast.
One of our excursions in Marina di Camerota is night fishing with lamp. There is a small boat which are tricking the fish to follow the light from a very stron lamp form the sea into the small bay where another boat is waiting with the net to catch all the fish. After we have watched this event we will be taken to a beach which you can only reach by boat. Here it will be served fresh pasta, the fish which just was catched, water melon for dessert and lots of local white wine.
We also organise, mountain bike excursions, diving school, deep sea fishing, ceramic courses, cooking school and many other daily excursions.
